Best cheap car?
Hi everyone,
I am a sophomore in college whose car just died on me. I have ~$5000 I could spend on a car but I come from a pretty poor family so my parents cannot help me out financially. I know almost nothing about cars and would appreciate insight on what type of car I should buy. I'm looking for something reliable and preferably, something that looks good enough to drive to an office environment full of rich people without being embarrassing.
Currently thinking about buying a Toyota Avalon from 2003-2008. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Look at Hondas and Toyotas. I believe that the Avalon is on the luxury side of the Toyota line up. This might mean premium gas and more expensive parts in the future. I would recommend an accord, civic, corolla, and camry. All these can get to 300k miles if you take care of them.
sophomore in college, assuming you need to get places for an internship. you don't need to impress anyone with a car. how often, and how far, are you commuting to and from? had a similar situation fresh grad out of college but uber hadn't taken off yet so i was forced to buy a car when i wasn't expecting it.
if it's not a lot of commuting, save the money, invest it, keep it in your pocket. uber or lyft. do a cost/benefit trade off but i'm guessing that would suit your needs better. no one should knock you for doing that. if i were in your shoes now, i would definitely consider uber/lyft to keep saving money.
if you must have a car, used honda accord/civic or toyota as the above poster mentioned.
